EFL (English as a Foreign Language)

Have you considered studying general English language in the South East of England, close to 2 international airports and the city of London?  Guildford College is in the ideal location.

As a British Council Accredited International Centre for the teaching of English as a foreign language, we offer 5 levels of English classes; elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate and advanced. Students study a minimum of 15 hours per week but can increase this to 17 or 21 hours per week.

To add value to your time at the Guildford College Group you should consider adding additional hours of Business English, IELTS Preparation, Cambridge Exams or English Plus.

Whether you just want to improve your English for personal reasons or you need to get the right IELTS grade for further study, our English classes will enable you to improve your skills in grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing and increase your vocabulary.

Interactive whiteboards are used in class to make class topics come alive and to enable tutors to give students’ relevant, up-to-date examples from YouTube and i-Player, for instance.

The core 15 hours of classes are taught Monday to Friday in the morning with the additional hours in the afternoons. There are a maximum of 18 students (average of 14) per class and each class offers a mix of nationalities from Europe, Asia and South America.

All of our English teachers are dedicated and trained professionals. It is also possible to take your Cambridge exam at Guildford College; so you could also consider taking KET, PET, FCE, CAE and CPE. Course books are not included in the tuition fee.

Every term the tutors arrange a project for all students. These have previously included International Day, Short Story Competition, Spelling Bee and the writing of an International Newspaper.
